Welcome.
These are some of the attempts at verse that I have made over the years. I trust that they are to the glory of the Lord Jesus - and that putting them here is to His glory too.
I have now posted most that I have written at least once but continue in case a new audience finds new blessing. Occasionally I throw in some other verse.
Comment are welcome.

Judges 4Sisera, finding flight expedient,
Reached Jael, and so fled the battles's clamour;
She gave him milk; he slept within the tent:
She took the tent-pin and the workman's hammer.
She smote his temple - for God had decreed
His death would not enhance a warrior's glamour.
Her hands were practiced for the time of need.

Numbers 22Three times the angel stood in Balaam's way;Three times the ass saved from the wrath to come,And three times Balaam smote it; it could sayIt had not earned Balaam's opprobrium.It wisely spoke sufficient words to teachThe prophet, and was then, as wisely, dumb.The silent time exceeds the time for speech.

Exodus 13 v 13Only an ass -
But a firstborn
One who has been redeemed
By a Lamb.Luke 19 v 31Only as ass -
But ready to be led
When the word comes,
"The Lord has need of it".Numbers 22 v 28Only an ass -
Dumb; dumber the better
Till the moment
When God gives speech.

(Micah 7: 9) Though my soul is dwelling in nightAnd my sins and sorrows depress"He will bring me forth to the light"For the Lord rejoices to bless.When my heart is full of dismayWith the evil flesh will inciteThe Deliverer's grace makes my way:"He will bring me forth to the light"."He will bring me forth to the light"When the world around me is dim;For Christ's love is constantly brightAnd He sets my view upon Him.If to sleep through Him is His willMay I face that brink without fright For I know His keeping until"He will bring me forth to the light".

(Micah 5: 5)
If you are thirled to sin
And longing for release
Open your heart to let Christ in,
"And this man shall be Peace".
Temptations may assail,
Or doubts within increase:
Trust in the One who will not fail:
"And this man shall be Peace".
Soon He shall have His Bride
Without one taint or crease,
To reign in glory by His side
"And this man shall be Peace".
